Daniel Radcliffe in talks to reunite with Dane DeHaan in political comedy

Actor Daniel Radcliffe is in talks to reunite with his Kill Your Darlings co-star Dane Dehaan and director John Krokidas in new movie College Republicans.

If the Harry Potter star commits to the film, he will play late political consultant Lee Atwater, opposite DeHaan as Republican Party advisor Karl Rove, according to TheWrap.com.

The script, penned by Wes Jones, will be based on the 1973 real-life events surrounding Rove's dirty campaign run for national College Republican Chairman, under the guidance of Atwater.

Shia LaBeouf and Paul Dano had previously been linked to the light-hearted comedy.

Silver Linings Playbook's Bruce Cohen is producing the project and filming is expected to begin in November (14).
